" Ce livre contient un nombre de pièces suffisant pour faire bien connaître le Folk-lore chinois moderne, c¿est-à-dire postérieur à la période k¿¿i-yuan 713-741 (empereur Huân-tsoung des T¿âng). J¿ai réserve le Folk-lore ancien et médiéval (9e siècle avant J.-C. au 7e siècle après J.-C.), pour un autre ouvrage, dans lequel j¿exposerai l¿évolution des idées chinoises.Le système contenu dans le Folk-lore moderne, est le résultat de l¿amalgame du Néo-bouddhisme d¿Amogha (719), avec le Néo-taoïsme de l¿empereur Tch¿nn-tsoung des Sóng (1013), le Néo-confucianisine de Tch¿u-hi (1200), et les superstitions des Ouïgours, Arabes, Tongouses, Mongols, Alains, et autres races, lesquelles conquirent la Chine pour un temps, ou dont les soldats mercenaires séjournèrent dans la capitale de la Chine, par milliers et par myriades, comme gardes de l¿empereur, du 8e au 14e siècle. Ajoutez ce que les marchands étrangers de toute nation, purent importer d¿idées, durant le même temps. La résultante finale du mélange de ces éléments hétérogènes, devenue stationnaire, forme la croyance populaire chinoise moderne."

" Je voudrais présenter, en les groupant sous quelques larges rubriques, des faits qui pourront renseigner sur la féodalité chinoise. Ces faits, peut-être offrent-ils un double intérêt. Ils pourront intéresser et par leur nature et par leur origine. Par son étendue, sa durée, sa masse, la civilisation chinoise est l¿une des plus puissantes créations de l¿humanité : nulle autre n¿est plus riche d¿expérience humaine. Elle est cependant infiniment moins connue du public que les civilisations méditerranéennes. Il est très légitime de vouloir attirer sur elle l¿attention et il serait très utile d¿y réussir. Utile, d¿abord, pour les spécialistes qui s¿en occupent. Si leur travail était contrôlé par un public plus vaste, peut-être seraient-ils plus nombreux au travail et travailleraient-ils plus efficacement. Davantage attirés par les questions qui présentent un large intérêt humain, ils se complairaient moins aux petits problèmes qüon débat entre initiés et qüil ne paraît point nécessaire de discuter en termes accessibles à tout homme cultivé. Pourtant, tout homme cultivé prend aujourd¿hui conscience de l¿étroitesse du monde circonscrit par les humanités classiques. Pourquoi la Chine lui resterait-elle étrangère si rien d¿humain ne doit lui rester étranger ? L¿homme ne se connaîtra que s¿il connaît toutes les manières d¿être de l¿homme. Il faut pour cela qüen se dépaysant, il se retrouve. Il faut qüil s¿observe à travers tous les climats et aussi à travers tous les temps."

" Je passe, dans mon milieu, pour haïr le théâtre. À ce propos on dénonce même, chez moi, un stigmate religieux, une protestation obscure de l¿atavisme confessionnel contre le goût trop répandu d¿un spectacle dit immoral. Peut-être y a-t-il un peu de ça. En tout cas, si je m¿interroge, je ne consens à voir dans cet aspect de ma « haine » pour le théâtre qüun point de départ lointain. Toutes nos opinions ont une origine sentimentale que nous tenons en général de l¿éducation directe, ou d¿une réaction contre elle, et à qui nous nous arrêtons si nous n¿apprenons pas à penser. Au contraire, l¿entraînement à la méditation nous conduit, un jour ou l¿autre, ou bien à modifier radicalement notre sentiment primitif, ou bien ¿ et le cas, il me semble, est de beaucoup le plus fréquent ¿ à chercher et à trouver, par l¿analyse, sa justification. C¿est un moyen de maintenir intact l¿orgueil intime qui constitue notre squelette spirituel et définit notre personne. C¿est ainsi que j¿ai pu parvenir à une explication pour moi très acceptable ¿ de ma « haine » pour le théâtre. Je ne l¿aime pas, il est vrai, au point de ne jamais manquer une pièce nouvelle et d¿y revenir sept fois. Je l¿aime à la façon dont j¿aime, si vous le voulez bien, la peinture, façon particulière, qui ne comporte pas pour moi l¿obligation de visiter tous les salons, toutes les expositions, d¿être de tous les vernissages, et d¿y avaler de la poussière et des sottises tous les soirs de quatre à six. Cela peut signifier, doit signifier que je n¿aime pas la peinture. Cependant j¿aime Véronèse, Rembrandt, Goya, Cézanne, quelques autres. Et si je pousse le mépris pour la littérature jusqüà ne pas songer à m¿abonner à l¿une de ces bibliothèques qui vous servent, à votre tour, tous les romans parus dans la semaine, j¿aime Montaigne, Pascal, Baudelaire, Stendhal. Ainsi, après vous avoir avoué que j¿ai effectivement la « haine » du théâtre, je vous confesserai que j¿aime Racine, que j¿adore Molière et Shakespeare, et qüil me semble que les tragiques grecs ont réalisé, à leur heure, quelque chose de bien grand."

" Le premier devoir de l'homme sincère est de ne pas influer sur ses propres opinions, de laisser la réalité se refléter en lui comme en la chambre noire du photographe, et d'assister en spectateur aux batailles intérieures que se livrent les idées au fond de sa conscience. On ne doit pas intervenir dans ce travail spontané ; devant les modifications internes de notre rétine intellectuelle, nous devons rester passifs. Non que le résultat de l'évolution inconsciente nous soit indifférent et qu'il ne doive entraîner de graves conséquences ; mais nous n'avons pas le droit d'avoir un désir, quand la raison parle ; nous devons écouter, rien de plus ; prêts à nous laisser traîner pieds et poings liés où les meilleurs arguments nous entraînent. La production de la vérité est un phénomène objectif, étranger au moi, qui se passe en nous sans nous, une sorte de précipité chimique que nous devons nous contenter de regarder avec curiosité. De temps en temps, il est bon de s'arrêter, de se recueillir en quelque sorte, pour voir en quoi la façon dont on envisage le monde a pu se modifier, quelle marche, dans l'échelle de la probabilité à la certitude, ont pu suivre les propositions dont on a fait la base de sa vie."

When young Gaelle defies Imperial Law by refusing to kill the horse that threw her father to his death, as well as the Law that decrees the horse's owner, Wilm, be beaten senseless, she and her aunt Jillian are destined to pay a heavy toll for Gaelle's disobedience.

En ung kvindes kamp for at overleve i vildmarken. En tjenestepige flygter fra en puritansk nybyggerkoloni i 1600-tallets Nordamerika og ud i vildmarken på egen hånd. Hun har ikke andet med sig end sin forstand, nogle få ejendele og en religiøs gnist, der brænder i hende. Det, hun møder i vildmarkens ingenmandsland, overgår alle hendes forestillinger og vil bøje hendes tro på alt det, civilisationen har lært hende. Vildmark er en nervepirrende flugtfortælling af en stor stemme i amerikansk litteratur. Det er en storslået og eventyrlig fortælling om mødet med vældig natur og en roman om at finde nye måder at leve på i en verden underlagt kolonialistisk magt. Lauren Groff skriver krystalklart om en enkelt kvindes skæbne på et særligt punkt i historien, som trækker tråde til vores egen tid. „Lauren Groff har genopfundet eventyrromanen.“ – Los Angeles Times

Winston Henry always envied the night shift staff up at the old asylum, until there was a vacancy and he found himself working it. Then it was like he'd woken up to what Echo Heights was really like, and everything changed. He remembered the old saying, "be careful what you wish for," because it may come true. But it wasn't exactly what he thought it would be. Up till then, Winston had never been one for listening to gossip; he avoided people if he could. He thought the stories they told about the things they heard or saw were all made up for attention seeking, so he paid them no heed. That was until he changed to the night shift.

I have to admit I do enjoy my zombie stories to be grimmer than grim and I'm glad to say this novella delivers on that score." - The Eloquent Page.

James Smith is one of the few survivors, living in the ruins of what was once San Francisco. He tells his grandsons of what life was like before the plague, when advanced technology and complex societies flourished.But civilization was unable to defend itself against the rapid spread of the airborne Scarlet Plague.

"La Pologne a-t-elle son art ? L¿eut-elle dans les siècles passés ?La première partie du problème ne laisse pas de place au doute, ni ne donne lieu à la contradiction : des centaines d¿artistes polonais se chargent de manifester la chose par le nombre et la valeur de leurs ¿uvres à la marque personnelle et spécifique, à l¿accent bien original et au goût de terroir. On en voit partout, dans tous les Palais des Expositions, dans tous les Salons de peinture. Il en est, signées de noms à la sonorité mondiale, dans les musées de France, d¿Espagne, d¿Italie, d¿Allemagne.La deuxième question paraît plus complexe et d¿une solution plus malaisée, d¿une évidence moins frappante. Cependant, là encore ¿ sous quelques réserves d¿un ordre général et quelques-unes pour le cas particulier qui nous occupe ¿ la réponse sera catégoriquement affirmative.Oui, la Pologne a eu son art de tout temps, malgré de nombreuses immixtions, admixtions, et malgré les mélanges qui venaient du dehors ajouter à sa propre saveur. Fort souvent, l¿étranger y greffait son génie sur le génie autochtone et tantôt rénovait ou raçait la production nationale, tantôt l¿altérait fâcheusement."
